Up for sale, a 2008 Jackson Stars Kelly model KE-TN02EMG in 100% original condition and in perfect working order. The Jackson Stars instruments are the direct descendants of the Grover Jackson line, crafted at the Chu Shin factory exclusively for the Japanese domestic market. This iteration of the Kelly platform is loaded with a pair of EMG 81 active pickups and features neck-through construction.

Tonewoods include a maple neck, alder body wings, and a bound 24-fret striped ebony fingerboard. Utilizing ceramic magnets and close aperture coils, the EMG 81s were designed for optimal note detail, enhanced high end cut, and fluid sustain, engineered so that lead work will slice through even the densest mix. The bridge has an aggressive, gain-ready snarl, and the neck is fuller and broader, retaining excellent articulation. This Jackson Stars Kelly weighs 8lbs 7oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 9-42 strings, slinky action, and accurate intonation.

Cosmetic wear on the gloss Black finish includes some minor nicks along the perimeter (most prominent at the body points) and buckle rash central to the back that is largely constrained to the trem cavity cover. Wear on top is limited to a bit of light pick scuffing and a few minor dings. The gloss on the neck profile is flawless.

The original form-fit faux leather gigbag is included.
